First determine volume of three containers [3 x 20L = 60L]. Then convert fill rate from mL/s to L/min. Recall 1L = 1000mL and 60s = 1 minute;
100 / 1000 x 60 = 6L/min];
Then divide total volume by fill rate [60 / 6 = 10 minutes]
100 / 1000 x 60 = 6L/min];
Then divide total volume by fill rate [60 / 6 = 10 minutes]
